 Shostakovich, Violin Concerto No.2 & Symphony No.13 in B flat minor ‘Babi Yar’; Gidon Kremer (vln), Anatoli ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Kotscherga has the prefect vocal instrument for this protest symphony: an expressive directness and clear projection that filled the RFH without ever sounding forced or loud: he sang each poem with a subtle change of emotional inflexion, colour and intensity.
The symphony is based on the notorious Nazi massacre and burial of 33,771 Jews at Babi Yar, a ravine to the north-west of the city of Kiev, on September 29 and 30, 1941.
This is followed by the most haunting and poignant section of the symphony: the waltz of the ghostly string quartet, ending with a sparkling sound from the celeste and bell: this was the most intense and intimate point of the symphony, where Shostakovich appears to find peace.

The outstanding performance of Babi Yar, for me, remains the recording of the second performance (recorded on December 20, 1962 and issued on Russian Disc) of the symphony by Kiril Kondrashin and the Moscow Philharmonic.
Shostakovich wrote this work in 1962, under the influence of Yevtushenko's newly published poem 'Babi Yar', a work that sought to awaken the Russian people (and government!) to the quasi-secret horror of 1941 when 33,000 Jews were slaughtered and buried in a mass grave in the ravine known as Babi Yar.
Babi Yar is the name of a site in Kiev, Ukraine, where the mass murder of Jews and other civilians by German Nazis and Ukrainian collaborators took place in 1941.

 Shostakovich: Opus 113
Babi Yar is located in the northwest suburbs of the city of Kiev; a large, unremarkable dirt-sided ravine in its own right.
It is in this key which the first movement, the poetical setting of "Babi Yar" (from which the symphony derives its name) begins, alternating with the secondary key of G minor.
The movement is predominantly in the slightly raised key of E minor, which continues without a pause, via the major third of E, G sharp (i.e.

13— 15, come in a special category and, in retrospect, must be considered as a group, offering communication that is for the most part direct and yet at times, perhaps purposely, oblique in content.
As with No. 14, its structure is that of a song cycle, and although this is intensely Russian music the debt to Mahler remains clear.
The Symphony is subtitled from the first of Yevtushenko's five Poems, "Babi Yar", a site of Jewish massacre by the Germans during the war.

 Shostakovich: Symphonies No 10 & 13 / Previn, London So | ArkivMusic
Certainly the Tenth Symphony is one of his supreme achievements and happens to be one of his works that, if not quite pleasing the authorities because of its unrelenting bleak tone, it has stood the test of time.
No doubt the forbidding, drum-spitting Allegro, which is given an appropriately frenzied yet stately performance by Previn, did much to make the authorities take notice.
But it was the Thirteenth Symphony of 1962 that alarmed Krushchev and the Communist Party such that the piece was quickly removed from the repertoire after a handful of performances.

In the case of no. 2 and 3 it’s probably better not to know what they are singing about.
In the case of no. 5 - our perceptions of which have changed totally since "Testimony", affecting in particular the manner in which the finale is to be played - Barshai unleashes from the score the most numbing evidence possible in favour of the "Testimony" interpretation.
He is still master of its enigmatic textures and here and in no. 13 he has the benefit of secure and expressive soloists.

 Amazon.ca: Sym 13 Babi Yar: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Conductor Valeri Polyansky is tackling the latter, less sexy symphonies first--the 12th and the 15th so far released--saving the greater symphonies for later.
It falls considerably short in quality in both vocals and the overall orchestral performance of the earlier version of the 13th that Chandos released in 1987 with Okko Kamu and the City of Birmingham Orchestra.
Polyansky here indulges in a near-fatal laxity, especially in I, "Babiy Yar," and II, "Humor," where a shrill chorus of unrestrained strings and closely mic'd flutes threatens to create an air of self-pity or, worse, bathos.

 INKPOT#83/I CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Requiem Cycle - SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No.13 "Babi Yar" - Inktroduction
Shostakovich is my favorite composer and I do not seek to disrespect the memory of the Jewish Holocaust, however I find the statement that you have made on your page insulting and arrogant.
The watchman at the old Jewish Lubiankov cemetery near Babi Yar describes how...(they) formed a corridor and drove the panic-stricken people towards the huge glade, where sticks, swearings and dogs who were tearing people's bodies, forced them to undress, form into two columns going towards the mouth of the ravine...
Nonetheless, "Babi Yar" still ends on a note of defiance (Shostakovich here marking a quadruple sforzando - sffff): I am each old man who was shot here, I am each child who was shot here, No part of me can ever forget this.

The Khruschev administraiton had attempted to remove all evidence of the atrocity, building a road over the great ravine, Babi Yar, northwest of Kiev, which contained the corpses of those destroyed.
More a cantata than a symphony, Op.113 is in five sections, each based on a Yvtushenko poem: Babi Yar: Adagio, Humor: Allegretto, In the Store: Adagio, Fears: Adagio, A career: Allegretto.
First performed to a wildly enthusiastic audience on December 18, 1962, the work was stifled until a new version with "alterations" by Yvtushenko appeared at a Moscow performance of November 20,1965 (this live performance may be found on Everest LP 3181).

This is a powerful composition, a moving performance, and an important intersection between art and history on many different levels.
Berstein´s classic Fifth Symphony recording showed that the New York Phil was a great Shostakovich orchestra, but here, in Masur´s performance of the Thirteenth Symphony, is even more evidence.
